Superman's Trans Affirmation
Summary
James Gunn's Superman film is, perhaps, the most quietly trans-affirming superhero movie ever made. Let's talk about the inherent queerness of the superhero genre, what makes Superman so special, and why the 2025 film adaptation hit so many trans people like a Kryptonian at mach 5. Comic writer Jadzia Axelrod joins us to discuss spheres of space! Will you fall into her trap? What's YOUR secret identity?
